Cirque du Soleil: Corteo on Tour
Like the deceased clown whose festive fantasy funeral it portrays, Corteo has risen again to assume its joyful place in the Cirque du Soleil solar system.
One of some 20 active Cirque du Soleil shows, Corteo closed its "Grand Chapiteau" – or "big tent" – run in Quito, Ecuador, in December 2015 after more than 3,500 performances seen by more than 5 million people since its Montreal premiere a decade earlier. In 2018, Corteo reopened in New Orleans as an even bigger and better arena experience slated for a two-year tour.
If you love clowns, Corteo is the show for you. Taking its title from the Italian word for "cortège," or procession, Corteo offers a parade of brilliant entertainments in a carnivalesque atmosphere. It was inspired originally by "The Grand Parade: Portrait of the Artist as Clown," a 2004 exhibition at the National Gallery of Canada.
That exhibition's vast array of circus life, from 18th-century fairgrounds to Picasso's harlequins, was transformed into an in-the-round big-top experience by director Daniele Finzi Pasca. Pasca founded the Swiss clown troupe Teatro Sunil and directed several other Cirque du Soleil spectacles.
While all of the show's principal characters are clowns – including the Dead Clown, Clowness, Giant Clown, and Little Clown – the 62-member cast, from more than a dozen countries, also features aerialists, acrobats, musicians, jugglers, contortionists, hoopers, and gymnasts in addition to its many jubilant jesters.
Costume designer Dominique Lemieux was inspired by "raw and luxurious" European fabrics from the early 20th century and commedia dell'arte characters from the 16th to the 18th centuries. A labyrinth matching one on the floor of France's famed Chartres Cathedral graces the stage. And French painter Adolphe Willette's fantasy Parisian bohemian scene Parc Domine (1885) inspired the show's elaborate water-colored curtains. Those curtains hide "Patience," an imposing overhead structure holding up the rails traversed by four platform carts.
Its stunning mixture of acrobatics and character-driven acting has been Cirque du Soleil's calling card since 1984, when what is now the world's largest theatrical production was founded in Montreal by street performers Guy Laliberté and Gilles Ste-Croix. With Corteo, Cirque du Soleil has outdone itself with an epic tribute to the circus world's comical essence: the clown.
Rating: 2 out of 5 Rating: 5 out of 5 Manage your expectations
by MusicCityTicketbuyer on 8/1/18Bridgestone Arena - NashvilleThe show is humorous and entertaining, but it is definitely not on the scale of Cirque du Soleil iin Las Vegas. I understand why a traveling show cannot compete with the sheer spectacle of a Vegas-based Cirque du Soleil show, but I had to adjust my expectations when the show began. At the end of the day, it was fun and worth the time and money. The music and costumes and sets were all beautiful, but the acrobatics were just not as thrilling as Las Vegas. If you can tone down your expectations you will have a great time.
Rating: 4 out of 5 Corteo left a LOT to be desired!
by tracyleigh on 8/1/18Bridgestone Arena - NashvilleThis show definitely was not 'Cirque' caliber. It was as if the Cirque writers & producers had some extra costumes and some time on their hands and said 'hey. let's just do this with this and create this'. It was not the mind-blowing experience that Cirque shows are known for and built a reputation upon. Two thumbs down.

Rating: 2 out of 5 Corteo is a Cirque show to skip
by Cornbread1969 on 8/1/18Bridgestone Arena - NashvilleIt wasn’t bad but was definitely the least interesting Cirque show we’ve seen.
Rating: 3 out of 5 Not the best one I’ve seen
by BigDaddy195161 on 8/1/18Bridgestone Arena - NashvilleI’ve seen the Cirque Soleil performance several times. A couple of times in Montreal. This one seemed less “active” than previous shows. And I’m not certain why so much French was spoken other than it’s just the Montreal mentality to force French on everyone. Even with that, Cirque Soleil is always a pleasant viewing experience.
Rating: 4 out of 5 Corteo not impressed
by zepdoc on 8/1/18Bridgestone Arena - NashvilleThis was my least favorite of any Cirque show I have seen and I have seen many.Hard to understand the dialogue.Not the wow factor that most Cirque shows have.Same stunts throughout the show.I would not recommend to anyone.

Rating: 5 out of 5 Corteo
by Lumm on 8/1/18Bridgestone Arena - NashvilleThe setting was gorgeous and the acrobatics amazing. We were a large family group with an age range of 4 to 77 and everyone was entranced. The use of an actor was unusual for Cirque de Soleil and very successful. Dealing with Ticketmaster is always difficult and expensive but that was the only downside to the event.
Rating: 3 out of 5 Not Suitable For Children
by NashvilleNaomi on 8/1/18Bridgestone Arena - NashvilleI was unaware of the dark undertones of this show. We brought our 2.5 year old because I thought it was a family, fun, filled with wonder and amazement show. I had no idea it was based on a mans funeral and his crossing over to the ‘other side’.

by Billmahersuperfan on 7/31/18Bridgestone Arena - NashvilleCirque Du Soleil is always great! This was my 4th Cirque experience and it was awesome...I won’t say it was the best one I’ve seen (mystere has that slot) but Corteo was well worth seeing. I would go again and highly recommend.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Another great show
by skeeter799 on 7/31/18Bridgestone Arena - NashvilleCorteo is my fourth Cirque show and continues to show the skill and artistry exhibited by these talented performers and story tellers. I highly recommend that anyone wishing to enjoy a family friendly experience to take in a Cirque show. Bridgestone Arena is a great venue for the Cirque format

Rating: 2 out of 5 Very Dark. Not up to par of their other shows.
by mycotton on 7/31/18Bridgestone Arena - NashvilleI took my granddaughters telling them it would le@ve them Breathless. It did not. In the past when leaving a Cirque Du Soleil show, everyone had big smiles and was talking about how great it was. That was not the case with this show. My granddaughters were waiting for the awsome show I have told them about, but it did not happen. I do think the performers themselves must have had the same feeling. Lack of spark. But, that was the theme of this show. If you had never seen a Cirque Du Soleil show before, you might of loved it.
